ABSTRACT
The trend of digital payments is growing rapidly, driven by technological innovations and changes in consumer behavior. With the convenience and security it offers, more consumers are transitioning from cash payments to digital methods. One example of this trend's implementation is the Livin' Merchant application by Bank Mandiri, which is integrated with banking services to support the digitalization of MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) and other business players. This application enables business owners to accept payments, monitor transactions, and manage finances within a centralized platform. This study aims to examine the digital communication strategies implemented in the Livin' Merchant application through Bank Mandiri's Instagram social media, utilizing the theoretical framework of digital communication strategies and Chris Heuer’s New Media and 4C’s theory (context, communication, collaboration, and connection). The research employs a qualitative-descriptive method, gathering data through interviews and analyzing it using the Miles & Huberman model. The findings reveal that the Livin' Merchant application employs a specific digital communication strategy to deliver messages to customers, distinct from other Bank Mandiri products. However, challenges were identified in using Instagram, particularly in creating more engaging and effective content to ensure the messages are received and understood according to the targeted market segmentation.

ABSTRAK
Tren pembayaran digital mengalami perkembangan pesat, didorong oleh inovasi teknologi dan perubahan pola perilaku konsumen. Dengan kemudahan penggunaan dan keamanan yang ditawarkan, semakin banyak konsumen beralih dari metode pembayaran tunai ke digital. Salah satu contoh implementasi dari tren ini adalah aplikasi Livin' Merchant dari Bank Mandiri, yang terintegrasi dengan layanan perbankan untuk mendukung digitalisasi UMKM (Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah) serta pelaku bisnis lainnya. Aplikasi ini memungkinkan pemilik bisnis menerima pembayaran, memantau transaksi, dan mengelola keuangan dalam satu platform yang terpusat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji strategi komunikasi digital yang diterapkan dalam aplikasi Livin' Merchant melalui sosial media Instagram Bank Mandiri, dengan menggunakan pendekatan teori strategi komunikasi digital serta teori New Media dan 4C’s (context, communication, collaboration, dan connection) dari Chris Heuer. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan metode kualitatif-deskriptif, dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara serta analisis data berdasarkan model Miles & Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi Livin' Merchant memiliki strategi komunikasi digital yang spesifik dalam menyampaikan pesan kepada pelanggan, berbeda dari produk Bank Mandiri lainnya. Namun, ditemukan pula hambatan dalam penggunaan Instagram, terutama dalam menciptakan konten yang lebih menarik dan efektif sehingga pesan dapat diterima dan dipahami sesuai dengan segmentasi pasar yang ditargetkan.
